COURSE CONTENT
1. Ingredients
Learn to use the correct combination and measurements of ingredients for best results: flour, leaveners, fats, sugars, eggs and liquids. Successful cookie baking relies on the correct ratio of ingredients.
2. Mixing matters
Understand the importance of the order of mixing ingredients (wet and dry). Over-mixing can incorporate too much air into the dough, resulting in flat, overly spread-out cookies.
3. Tool time
We will show you how to make use of essential tools like baking sheets, liners and scoops to always guarantee stick-free baking and easy clean-up.
4. Temperature
Oven temperature is not the only factor in producing great cookies. Ingredient temperature makes a difference too. We will show you how chilling the cookie dough before baking can produce cookies with sharper and clearer edges.
5. Troubleshooting
You will learn the tools and tricks to make your cookies flatter, puffier, chewier or crispier if you are not getting the desired results at home.

* This class is a full hands-on baking class. You will be on your feet most of the time, so we strongly
